I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

What? Fitbits? What is this and how much does it cost?

ita: [link]

It's a small tracking device and base station for fitness and sleep with a 3D motion sensor. It's $99 plus (I think) $10 shipping. Tracking website is free with purchase.

I don't think I'd ever be able to sleep knowing that I was being measured and scored.

You're not ranked against others on your sleep, if that helps?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

HPV links to oral sex.

There's no fun left.

Thanks, shrift! Given that I have no activity, that might be a bit pricey for me, but it's an idea.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

HPV links to oral sex.

My GP was telling me that HPV may be to blame for the relatively high incidence of rectal cancer in gay men.

Baking does not fuck around.

Even baking has room for winging it, as long as you understand the relationship between wet and dry ingredients.

Not just that, but also leavening. At least. There's a lot of chemistry up in there.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well GEE, maybe HPV vaccines SHOULD be for everybody...

(First of all, people, herd immunity -- duh. Second of all, Three years ago I bet folding money it caused things in men that just weren't identified yet and I'm a desk jockey. Third, people aren't going to be as squirrley about giving their sons a ::gasp:: SEX VACCINE!!!!! Duh. Duh. DUH.)

We're trying to get Dillo to go to sleep (he usually snuggles to sleep with me but is having a punishment for not cooperating on tooth brushing). mr. flea told him that every time he has to go in and quiet him down, he's going to bring one of Dillo's Thin Mints and eat it.

I swear, the only thing that motivates this child is sugar. But I'm finding the whole thing hilarious. One cookie is gone. How many will it take?

Thank god for fast reactions, but I still had to work to get melted carpet off the iron. Scrubbing the carpet with a brush, you can't tell it got accidentally ironed.

I hate using the iron.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

People who have seen Friday's Fringe--where do I know Mrs Mercher (sp?) from?
